Teacher will explain the relationship between causes and effects in everyday life and in literature. Teacher will introduce the “Everyday Causes and Effects Chart” and read it aloud. (Direct Teaching Teacher Example Chart is provided in Teacher and Student Materials below.) Teacher will tell students that as we read the book __Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day__ by Judith Viorst, we will match the cause-and-effect relationships. Ask: "How did I match each cause to the correct effect?" Students should respond that you thought about how they are related and matched the causes and effects based on what made sense. Teacher and students will work together to match the causes and effects from the book, stopping at page 13. (Guided Practice Teacher Example Chart is provided below.)
